IRON Series 30 Min Glute Workout - Dumbbell Lower Body | 3

  • The glutes stabilise our hips and pelvis and are required to provide the correct alignment to the pelvis. Even balancing on one leg… and running which is always alternating single leg movements.
    Providing support to the lower back, reducing knee and lower back pain plus the many benefits to training overall promote longevity in day to day activities and training.
    Strengthening your glutes will have a lasting impact on reducing risk of injury whether you are running, walking or lifting.
    In this 30 minute workout we will isolate, activate and engage the glute muscles focusing on hip extension and abduction.
    For this workout, you will need some dumbbells, a barbell or even a kettlebell!
    Aside from the weight, you will need a mat and a glute band.
    I will also be using a small sofa that is quite rigid for hip thrusts and Bulgarian lunges. If you prefer, you can perform bridges on the mat and regular lunges with a forward leaning tilt!
    The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 1 x 30kg primarily and 1x 15kg for the Bulgarian lunges!
    The timer will be on for 60 seconds per exercise with 30 seconds rest inbetween!

    You will notice I am less focused on just lifting the weight.. I am thinking constantly about how I am contracting my glutes in order to move.
    The glute band should be utilised as best as you can… there is a lot of resistance so use it! At the top… bottom.. and during lifting and lowering! Constant tension when hip thrusting to get the most out of each rep!
    Glutes definitely were isolated, activated and engaged throughout!

    I’m definitely preferring this style of workout in the Iron series: the longer working times with less exercises, and the exercises themselves are pressing, pulling, hinging, etc motions. Nothing crazy and out of the box, (like some other influencer workouts). That’s exactly what I wanted from a program! Thanks Caroline

      I very much plan to do that. I’ve redone some of the epic series each time adding an additional 2kg to the weights. It’s interesting to learn which exercises become more difficult as a result, versus which are no big deal with heavier weights.

    Totally loving the iron series! If anyone has lower back issues when working out their glutes, use a stability ball. I find it takes the pressure off my lower back and, as an added bonus, I seem to be working out my abs more. Love the colours for this series, Caroline! Have a wonderful day everyone!

    • @jemirjemirp3267
      @jemirjemirp3267 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How do you use the stability ball? I noticed with the hip thrusts on the chair my lower back hurt.

    • @KellyLS
      @KellyLS 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I have always used the stability ball for hip thrusts since I workout in my basement and have no bench/comfy chair to use. The only difficulty is that sometimes it likes to roll away between sets 😆

    • @easypeasy7584
      @easypeasy7584 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If you experience lower back problems you may either have a weak core or you are using your back muscles to do the work, your glutes and legs are supposed to do. Many people tend to hyperextend their lower back during hip thrusts (also during squats when the load is too heavy). Sometimes we tend to use weight that is to heavy and then other muscle groups kick in (mostly lower back). I realized this myself after paying a lot of attention to it. If you dont have problems when using a stability ball it means that the stability ball is not allowing you to do something what you might do whilst using a bench.

    • @lizstone7147

    The iron series workout are incredibly, is free but feels like a premium experience. From start to finish, the program is perfect. The timing of each session is spot on, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. The explanations for each exercise are clear and detailed, ensuring that I understand exactly what to do and how to do it correctly.
    The tips provided throughout the workouts are invaluable, helping me improve my form and maximize the effectiveness of each exercise. The cool-down stretches at the end of each session are comprehensive and help me wind down properly, preventing any post-workout stiffness.
    I'm on my second day, and I already feel more confident about the positive changes this program will bring. Each workout is enjoyable, motivating, and well-structured.
    I want to congratulate Caroline for such an outstanding job and express my gratitude for the immense time and effort put into this program. Thank you for making such a high-quality workout accessible to everyone. Thumbs up for an excellent program!

    I'm 3 months post partum... I was going to the gym a few days a week but now that my spouse is back to work i dont have anyone to watch our baby so im resorting to exercising at home. I have a few dumbells and a good Kettle bell and I find the exercises with the amount of time under tension are really effective at exhausting the muscle.
    I will keep these workouts up everyday. 30 minutes is perfect while baby naps.

    Stumbled on the "Iron" series doing a search for 30 min upper workout. I did that yesterday which was day 2. Kind of fit. 30 minutes is what I have to work with on my lunch break. I will continue this series. I like the layout of the format. The lack of talking in the workout. The good information on the beginning. It is handy to have, the workout starts at X o'clock. I can look at the intro before I get to the gym and then load this to the right spot. Saves time. I think you did that on another day. Anyway, overall thank you for this. It really fits what I am after and I enjoy your presentation.

I completed Fuel 5 days ago, which I loved, took me 12 weeks to complete due to both pregnancy and being middle of winter where I am.
